Surprise Package

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

The mailman just dropped off a large box. I opened it and inside was a nice sheet of my favorite cutlery steel - S35VN - and some bars of a new experimental steel.
It was a surprise birthday present from that great guy - ALDO.

Aldo - A big thanks for the steel, and the kind thought.

Aldo, being Italian and from New Jersey didn't send a card, he just wrote the birthday message on the steel

Gota love that guy !

 

[Don Nguyen]

Wow. What a guy.

I think more people in the world like him would be quite something.

 

[never too sharp]

What are the deets on the new steel?

Btw, loved your letter in Blade.
